Okay, I'll try to make a reasonable prediction in 20 years based on some current situation in China:
1. Beijing - The seat of the central government, where resources are concentrated and the attraction persists
2. Shanghai - economic center, core city of Yangtze River Delta
3. Shenzhen - Science and technology innovation center, the fastest increase in comprehensive strength
4. Guangzhou-a major economic city outside the Yangtze River Delta, a pilot zone for reform and opening up
5. Chengdu - an important growth pole for the rise of the west
6. Xi'an - a leading city in the central region, the strategic focus of the Belt and Road Initiative
7. Wuhan - the largest city in the central region, the core of the Yangtze River Economic Belt
8. Hangzhou - Yangtze River Delta Digital Economy and Innovation and Entrepreneurship Center
9. Chongqing - The only megacity in the west with a population of 10 million
10. Tianjin - an important support point in the Bohai Rim region
This mainly takes into account factors such as economic status, regional representativeness, and development potential. As China's urbanization progresses, more people are expected to move to these cities. Of course, there is still a lot of uncertainty about the specific evolution in the future. This is just my personal expectation and is for reference only.
So do you think it makes sense to predict it?
